Shomrim volunteers on patrol assisted the NYPD in arresting two suspects in possession of a stolen vehicle late last night, bringing a tense situation to an end.
The incident began when Shomrim volunteers noticed a car driving unusually slowly through the neighborhood without license plates. Concerned that the occupants might be planning criminal activity, the volunteers discreetly followed the vehicle while notifying their team and contacting the NYPD.
NYPD officers responded quickly, located the vehicle, and conducted a car stop. As officers began their investigation, they confirmed the car was stolen. At that moment, the suspects attempted to flee on foot, escalating the situation.
After a brief foot chase, NYPD officers caught up with the suspects and placed both into custody.
